Looks like an interesting week of weather with warmer temperatures and the chance of some thunderstorms through out Tasmania but especially in the Southern, Central and Eastern areas of the state from Late Wednesday to Thursday.There could be a good fall of rain if we get storms or the low or trough hang over us.

Great weather the past few days down here in the southeast and by the sounds of it the rest of the state, warm today at home with a top of 29.2C! Sea breeze didnít come in till late arvo.

Going for 31C tomorrow and then looks like we get a good drink come Wednesday evening onwards, looking forward to the chance of a good storm, hopefully the sea breeze isnít in to strong on the Wednesday arvo as they usually kill off any storm activity in the SE (unless theyíre strong cells).. anyway something to look forward too.

Hi all 30 c here in Hobart as forecast , what a searing stinker.Despite the cool forecast of 17 c ? on Thurs it looks like we are going to average around 26 c for an 8 day period including today. Even next Wed and Thurs still looking at 25 c or more at this stage , I'm sure glad I didn't enter this years Casino to the Pinnacle with Sunday forecast at 27 c . This run usually starts freezing cold and greets the runners at the top with snow most years , not this year.Still a hellish 27 c outside !

Average maximum to be 21.0c on 21st if the 7 day forecast comes true, closing in on another monthly record for Hobart.Rain coming up looks good there's a 50-100mm projection for an area from the south-east through the midlands on the BOMs forecast rainfall map tonight.

Launceston must be heading the same way, averaged 3 degrees more than Hobart over the first 13 days (only colder once), was averaging 20.9 before yesterday compared to Hobart's 17.9. Records only go back to 1980, but the warmest Nov was 22.5 in 2007 and 22.3 in 2009. Yesterday was 25+ and should be the same again today.

Not sure about rain, models have been pretty variable. BOM 3 day has good rain over the south tonight and tomorrow morning - hopefully the BOM 10 day 00Z run from yesterday is correct. I reckon the Derwent Valley, southern and central midlands will see the best of the storm activity. Brighton Breeze is probably in the prime location - out of the forumers here.

The Storms on radar looked good earlier on but looked like most of the rain was evaporating, however just had a cracker of a downpour at home! Was red on the radar and is moving towards Hobart airport.
